Yesterday morning, about 2 o'cloc k,
the soda works, near the depot, on
Westside, were entirely consumed by
fire supposed to have been started by
the match of an incendiary. Mr.. HUI
den says that no fire was used on the
premises, and that q short time before
the alarm was given he heard some
one pass at a rapid pace by his resi-
dence on an adjoining lot. This did
not, however, excite suspicion at
the time that anything was wrong
The loss foots up about 81 200, on
which there is a partial insurance.
The fire department responded prompt
ly, but the great distance they had to
run after the alarm was given, rem
dered their services of little value ex-
cept to keep the flames from spread
ing. The soda company have ordered
new outfit, and their business will
not be suspended.
